Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted September 9, 2022 They are really moving forward on this, and the details are mind-boggling. But this is good news for Oregon fans...

noDucknewby No. 2 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Holy cow, money makes the world go around! We all knew (or suspected) that we were headed for an NFL model at some point, I'm just a little surprised it's happening so soon. It's amusing too me that the chancellors that will actually collect the money went over the heads of the bickering conference commissioners and ADs to push this forward. So what does this mean for Oregon? Being stuck in the new P-10 (or whatever) doesn't sound quite so devastating with a playoff spot pretty much reserved for the conference champ (assuming they're top 6) and possibly a second at-large bid. That said the new TV deal will still be less than half what the B1G members are getting and consequently I fear the talent gap will only get worse. I still think we have to bail if invited to the B1G but our fallback is looking a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven A Moderator No. 3 Share Posted September 9, 2022 “The commissioners will also have to address the athlete welfare angle as two teams could potentially play up to 17 games” . . . that will be a first, just ask the USC & UCLA soon-to-be globe-trotting athletes! Also, if it takes a unanimous vote of commishs, count Sankey out, he already has a semi monopoly on getting 1/2 of the teams in a four-team invitational.

Or, the new playoff $$ will lessen the TV deal monetary impact and being in the PAC ??, ACC or BIG 12 will be an advantage to the rigors of the SEC or BIG 10. Per Jon Wilner: "But expansion also lends desperately needed viability to the Pac-12’s regular season by granting automatic bids to the six highest-ranked conference champions. There are only 10 conferences. So long as the Pac-12 champ is ranked higher than its counterparts in the Sun Belt, Conference USA, Mid-American and either the Mountain West or American, a playoff berth awaits. That is not a high bar." Edited September 9, 2022 by Steven A added content 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Moderator No. 5 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) It is much more compelling for fans to watch conference champions battle for a National championship in a playoff. Watching teams that obviously “pad” their football schedule to better their chances of a current playoff spot should not be fully rewarded. If you actually took a vote of all fans, a new system would win by a landslide. Edited September 9, 2022 by Drake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that's a push at best since the SEC and B!G will also get that money. In addition it's looking like the CFP payout will be participation based, which means those two conferences will most likely get even more. Regardless, our path to playoff in the new P10 will be easier if we win the conference. A second place P10 team doesn't stand as much of a chance as a second or even third place SEC or B1G team.

Tandaian No. 7 Share Posted September 9, 2022 It won't happen, but I hope they don't give a full percentage of money to conferences with multiple teams participating. For example, every conference gets a full share with 1 team participating. Every additional team added reduces the share for those additional teams. Splitting 1.2 billion between 10 conferences/12 schools will have B1G and SEC bringing home an extra 300-400 mil per year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
